Yihe Mansions (Jiangsu)

Simply cross the threshold of the Yihe Mansions and you will enter the Republic of China again, a time when the country’s leading people built their residences in the shade of the maple trees on Yihe Road in Nanjing, the capital of 10 dynasties. These private yellow-walled villas have been magnificently restored and now offer sophisticated, deeply historical accommodation with a spa, restaurants, clubs and suites. They are extremely spacious with soft light and greenery throughout; the décor is an elegant blend of traditional artefacts and contemporary objects, with fine woods and precious fabrics – a serene environment where you can truly appreciate the beauty of this culture.

It was in Nanjing that the government of the new Republic of China established itself in 1927. Private mansions were built, including the Yihe Mansions, which is a perfect illustration for modern Chinese architecture known under the name of Republic Style or National Style. These mansions have been refurbished with elegance, respect for the materials and building techniques of that time, so that the Yihe Mansions were presented with a UNESCO Award in 2014.
